Books for students
A recent book drive helped fill shelves in Littlefield Unified School District libraries, with a total of 21 boxes of books donated. Eight of those boxes came from Mesquite’s two Rotary clubs, represented here by Richard Winn, left, shown with Beaver Dam High School librarian Kami Reyes, second from left, Cheryl Edwards, elementary and middle school librarian, and Supt. Riley Frei.
The librarians cataloged the books, putting on the shelves those suitable for the schools. The other books will be given to students and their families to promote reading at home. “Every book helps, and I want to thank the entire community and the Rotary club,” said Frei.
CHECK PRESENTATION TO FOOD BANK
Rotary Club of Mesquite supports the Virgin Valley Food Bank as one of its local projects for financial support. The club voted unanimously to donate $100 a month, along with providing a work force to help distribute food at the Food Store. Volunteers also help unload and store the food brought into Mesquite by the Four Square Food Service from Las Vegas.
